Rainforest Sri Lanka, often referred to as the “green paradise” of the world, is blessed with lush vegetation covering every corner of the island. Our rainforests, among the most vibrant expressions of this greenery, are a must-see for nature lovers.
Rainforests are so named due to the high levels of rainfall they receive annually. Though they cover just 6% of the Earth’s surface, their ecological value is immense. These forests are characterized by towering evergreen trees, dense jungles, and a climate that remains hot and humid throughout the year.
Sri Lanka is fortunate to be home to three main rainforests, one of which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. These natural wonders are teeming with biodiversity, offering an unparalleled experience for those seeking to explore the island’s rich ecological treasures.
